ReplyDeleteThey had a vaccination set up in Hy-Vee and not one person was getting a shot.
Trump needs to be put into the white house now not in 2024. The election was stolen Biden CNN and Pelosi admitted it, and were caught saying they stole it, plus there is an audit going on in AZ and the democrats are so scared of the results they have done everything in their power to stop it and not let the auditors have what they need. Same is going on in other states that are getting ready to audit. If the democrats think we are going to sit back and wait until 2024 they are mistaken. We aren't stopping and we aren't going to go away. Trouble is coming you can count on it.
And yet you are full of shit, and you might want to stop with the royal "we." Weird.
ReplyDeleteUhhh @5:06... the "trouble" you speak of already came, back on January 6th, remember?
ReplyDeleteA bunch ofyou nitwits actually DID what your Beloved Leader told you to do, and suddenly you discovered that you had absolutely no support in your deluded fantasies from the vast majority of the American People.
And not even any support from your "Beloved Leader" who, after saying publicly "I'll be there with you", ran away and hid in the White House Bunker, and who has spent all his time since then denying that he ever said anything like what everyone heard him say, and what you believed when he said it.
Face facts, you were lied to by an immoral Con Man who used you and is still trying to use you for his own egotistical purposes and who spent his entire time in Office enrichng himself off the US Taxpayers money.
Admit the truth to yourself and speand the rest of your life denying that you ever believed a word he said. Move on, the rest of the Country has.
Who is hiding in the white house bunker? Using the national guardsmen as bodyguard when he isn't trotted out to fumble through prepared speeches that he still fucks up?
DeleteThat's your guy. And rhe backup is Old Willie Brown's mouthjob provider.
DADDY HOW COME LEBRON IS IN CHINAS POCKET
ReplyDelete"Pollster Frank Luntz: 'I would bet on' Trump being 2024 GOP nominee"
ReplyDeleteThat would be because Democrats will vote for him in the primaries. If he didn't win the popular vote in 2016 or 2020, his odds of the third time being the charm are slim.
5:06 is correct.
ReplyDeleteFuck Frank Fat Ass Luntz and fuck Kevin "roomy" RINO fuckhead.
Trump might be running against Kameltoe Harris, the whore.
ReplyDeleteThe Libtards know they're losing the House in 2022. Americans can see how they're screwing over the country with no borders, weak military, increased energy prices leading to increased prices for food and other items, enabling transgenders to destroy women's sports, wanting to pack the Supreme Court, wanting to make D.C. a state, their war on law enforcement, and daily focus on dividing the country by race and other attributes.
ReplyDeleteFrank Luntz is a Putz.
ReplyDeleteAnd another day, another worthless article from the Kansas Shitty Star attacking Roger Marshall or Josh Hawley. It's no wonder this newspaper went bankrupt.
ReplyDeleteThe one-note newspaper must be paying their crappy reporters with IOUs. No journalism graduate with half a brain would work there.
ReplyDelete^^^ The gutless Draft-Dodging Mega-Liar Donald Trump was the onehiding in the White House Bunker when the idiots who believed his line of bullshit were breaking into the US Capitol Building in order totry to overthrow the Constitution and overturm the rsults of a normal, legal Election!
ReplyDeleteAll the name calling you want to throw out can be dumped right back onto the sorry Loser you support, he has a lot more resason for abuse coming to him, after four years of complete abject failure and lining his own pockets at our expense.
And at least we no longer have a retired(?) Prostitute as First Lady!
What? Trump's out of office, and you're still obsessed. While you whack off to Trump hate-porn in your delusional way, stuck in the past, you're ignoring the present situation.
DeleteGet help.
"No journalism graduate with half a brain would work there." Half a brain is actually above average for newbie reporters.
ReplyDeleteIgnoring the present situation? The Economy is growing, people are going back to work, fewer people are dying from Covid, everyone (exceot for Trumptards) is more optimistic, Russia and North Korea are backing down, our Traditional Allies are back, Veterans are getting their benefits backagain, a sense of calm and relief is widespread, am I supposed to ignore that?
ReplyDeleteAs far as hating Trump, you mistake comtempt and disgust for hatred. Yes, I hate what the Liar was allowed to do to this poor Country for four long years, and what he is still trying to do to it, and I hate the fact that he was able to steal so much money from the United States for his personal gain, but I hope that he will have to face the consequences of his misdeeds soon.
Get help? American helped herself last November - and threw Trump out of Office!
Ok, so some reality for you.
DeleteThe jobs report was the worst miss in history. You're completely lying or ignorant about people going back to work because unemployment ticked up and the jobs estimate was off by a million jobs, making it the worst such report in history. It turns out that if you pay people to stay home they don't go out to seek work--- even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is begging President Houseplant to change this disastrous policy. Strike one.
Russia openly mocks Grandpa Biden's inability to hold a regular conversation, as Putin was able to challenge the old racist to just that and the old fellow slunk away. I don't blame him, really--even the departing Jen Psaki admitted today that the poor old man has to be carefully protected from anything that might resemble a challenging question. Anyway, China openly mocks our ambassadors and you think we're winning. Strike two.
Not to mention the campaign promises the old rapist keeps breaking, and his desperate series of failures to manage the worsening border crisis he created--he put Vice President Suck-suck in charge, and she thinks it's climate change or something. Meanwhile there are more kids in cages than ever, and President Silver Alert has quietly had to admit that the wall is a pretty good idea.
Call it what you like, but you're a textbook TDS patient. Anything Trump does is bad, and anything Biden does is good. You're an infant.
The economic recovery is stalling. Inflation is showing up everywhere in the market. The ruling party is addicted to spending and fiat money. There is a crisis at the border. The Chinese are making moves towards the Philippines and the Russians towards Ukraine and the DOD is concerned about Covid and the so-called extremist threat. The IC is trying to prove its wokeness while America’s enemies are licking their chops. Violence is overwhelming our cities. Things are bad and only getting worse.
ReplyDeleteSalma Hayek is a goddess. She is a throwback to a bygone era of Hollywood greatness.
